I’m working with a Cyber Security company that is based in Nottingham. They are small now, but plan to double in size in the next year, so definitely one to watch…

They have asked me to look for a number of people to join them, including a few Junior SOC Analysts. They want people with a certain something about them- bright, switched-on, and a bit of boisterousness…and a passion/ obsession with cyber security is naturally a must-have!

You’ll be analysing network traffic to safeguard against possible threats or attacks, producing frequent security reports, and researching new methods and techniques in unauthorized access of data to proactively make sure that they’re always one step ahead of the black hat hackers!

You’ll need a Bachelor's degree in a related field / equivalent demonstrated experience, and to know about…

Lots of security methodologies

Firewall and intrusion detection systems

TCP/IP Protocols, network analysis, and network/security applications

common Internet protocols and applications

You’ll need to be confident in your communication skills- written and verbal- as you’ll be interacting with different colleagues and customers daily.

They don’t do micromanagement, so being able to work off your own initiative is a must.

Importantly, you’ll be working on a shift pattern; this is to ensure that their services are provided 24/7, so you’ll need to be flexible on the hours you work.

You’ll get to work in a relaxed environment where everyone enjoys each other’s company, and who love what they do. It’s a cracking time to join them; as they double in size, you’ll gain seniority as the company expands, and you’ll get to work with more and more intelligent people on the interesting stuff you love!

If you’d like to understand the role a bit better and see if it’s right for you before applying, feel free to give me a call and I can tell you all about it.
